As far as being a copout, I don't get your point.

I think women priests are fine.

OK. I actually hadn't considered that you were in favor of women's ordination. In that case it's not a copout, but it is a grave error.

To be a woman is not inherently sinful--that's stupid.

I don't think anyone's advancing that position; however, they still should not be priests.

I don't think homosexuality is a sin, but I don't think it's an excuse for sinful behavior.

I don't know how to follow-up this statement, since it seems we're on different wavelengths as it involves moraility, but if homosexuality is not sinful, how can any homosexual acts be sinful?

Let me 'splain it to you.

A homosexual who is celibate is not engaging in sinful behavior.

A homosexual who is not promiscuous but committed to one partner...I can't find that sinful.

A homosexual who commits adultery on his wife, leaves his wife and family and takes up an affair with another man is sinful, but it would also be sinful if the affair was with another woman.
